I’m trying to establish a symbolic ritual to commemorate the Last Spaghetti Dinner (LSD) and I’ve spent hour pouring over the photo record but I still can’t figure some things out.
Can you help me out with the elements of the ritual?
Is the Finger of Friendship (Lucky Fokker) extended before or after the meal?
Are meatballs and Jack Daniels suitable as sacraments?
Should we have little cups for the Jack Daniels or just have people pull straight from the bottle?
Should the meatballs be hot or cold?
Am I missing anything?

Southpaw,
Everyone is welcome to feast at the table of the FSM. You know that.

Piraterachel,
If it is 151 proof there are no bugs that are going to live through that.

I think the Finger of Friendship should be extended before the meal as a gesture of what is about to happen.
Meatballs and Jack Daniels are the most appropriate.
I think sharing the ritual beverage from the same bottle is an act of love and symbolic of friendship.
The meatballs will be cold by time to eat them, maybe they should be heated before hand to alleviate the chill.
Blessings )O( ermm...I mean R Amen

I'm with Mira on this one--Captain Morgan is more appropriate to His Noodleyness.
Hmm..I guess one could extend the finger of friendship before the sacraments, as it would be analogous to toasting and saying "To the Gods!".
Meatballs sound good--but what's Katy gonna eat? We'll need a small dish of pasta for the vegetarians.
Finally, the Greek Orthodox church takes their wine out of a community goblet held by the priest (communion takes a long time in those churches). They also claim that because communion is holy, they never get sick from sharing a cup. Therefore, following this logic (and directly stealing from the church--as if it's NEVER worked the other way around, lol!) we should share a community bottle of Captain Morgan.
Something else to think about: We should cast a circle before dinner in order to keep those pesky Fundies out!

His Noodlyness is honored no matter how you do it, so it's all good, but my suggestions are:
- extend the Finger of Friendship before the meal
- meatballs and Jack Daniels are both suitable sacraments
- the meatballs should at least be warm; use a crock pot to keep them warm
- You should use LARGE cups for the Jack Daniels; ice or a splash of coke is optional

Here's what I think...
1. Raise ye mugs in a hearty toast to end global warming.
2. Put down the mugs and give everyone the Finger of Friendship
3. Chug your grog, and give your nearest wench or manly pirate a big sloppy kiss.
4. Pasta
5. Beer
6. Pasta
7. Beer
8. Lather, rinse, repeat.
9. Give everyone the Finger of Friendship before you leave the table.
I think it's only fitting that Captain Morgan be used as a sacrament, but hey, I don't think FSM would mind substitutes. As I'm sure He wouldn't mind any variety of meatballs being consumed in His name. =)

LOL!! Finger of Friendship !!
That is extended after consuming the Jack
Jack and meatballs is fine with me. They can be either hot or cold cause Italian taste good either way.
I say we gun the Jack right out of the bottle, a bottle for everyone.

I have nothing to add to Mira's answer (or indeed, any of the others) except:
If it's 151-proof rum, then everybody had better get your last will and testament in order before coming to this party, 'cause we're all likely to meet Our Noodly Master before the next day dawns!

Definitely, we need just the blessed bottle. Remember, nothing with yeast either. I prefer all meatballs to be very nice and warm.

I am a pull from the bottle kinda girl. What a bohemian!
And I like hot,spicy meatballs.
What would we have for dinner music?
And can we have candied walnuts on the side? LOL

Finger-before meal
meatballs and Rum = sacraments
Little cups are more hygenic than backwashing in me rum
Hot meatballs
you forgot the garlic bread. LOL
